    Lots of discussion about fwds and ruck but this week defence is how we will win or lose. Petty May on Hawk and Cameron with Lever loose. Gus intercepting when he can get off his man

    Assuming Gawn is back, I reckon he should sit in the hole. Cats can score very quickly

    Personally, I think Hibbo would be a better man for Cameron. Cameron is more of a running mobile player than a contested mark; Hibbo would destroy him.


    In: how to kick to forwards and better forward line movement

    Out:High and long bombs into the hot spot.

    Pickett fined $2k so won't need to worry about replacing him.

    I liked M Browns game. He was better playing a high HF type role. We need him to do that again and take one of Geelongs Tall defenders . I saw Kolodjashnij was out injured so they are down two of their key defensive stocks.

    Hopefully the weather remains dry so we can use Gawn more effectively in the F50. I wonder if they swing Henry back into D50 and bring in Ratagolea or Rohan (assuming they are fit). I think May goes to Hawk and Petty to Cameron. Hibberd is probably better suited to Tyson Stengle who is in hot form. 
     

    Gawn <> Bedford 

    LJ <> Weideman (if fit) 

    Tommo (medi-sub)

    Pickett won’t be dropped. He was better than Bedford anyway.

    Thought he may have been given a week, no way I would suggest he be dropped, our most important small forward 

    As mentioned, Mitch Brown's game was far superior to Weideman's. Weed goes out for Gawn.

    Bedford was disappointing but they might like his pace against Geelong.

    Mitch Brown can't and won't play the forward/ruck role. If Jackson doesn't come back in then Weid will absolutely stay in and Mitch will make way.

    Remember the original lineup before Jackson pulled out by any chance?

    They must need extra funds for Gill’s gold watch.

    If Jackson is out again then all options are open.

    Weed's ruck work and lack of physicality in the air was dismal. He can't be given another game after that.

    and they get suspended for intentionally running into his elbow.

    Well we need a forward/ruck if Jackson doesn't play, how did you see Mitch Brown's ruckwork exactly?

    Sorry mate, Weid stays if Jackson doesn't play.

    Spooky. Heading down to Kardinia two times in a row with us and them in the same ladder position.

    It'd be less spooky if the fixture was fairer and the home ground advantage wasn't permanently Geelongs..

    Mitch's ruckwork seemed far more competitive than Weeds. He at least nullified the contest.

    Sorry, that's rubbish.

    Weid had a higher hitout win percentage and at least had some to advantage whereas Brown had 0.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
